EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The body was refinished in the original color of Sierra Gold (code 805) and cream approximately three years ago. Features include chrome bumpers, a silver grille, Bel Air bodyside trim, a fender-mounted antenna, dual mirrors, color-keyed rear wheel skirts, and dual accessory rear antennas. The selling dealer states that some minor paint imperfections can be seen and the rear bumper has one spot that has been touched up.

A set of 14-inch Sierra Gold steel wheels with full hubcaps is wrapped in whitewall radial tires.

The selling dealer states that a stitch is coming unseamed on the driver's seat back and a small stain on the headliner is present but can be touched up with dye.

A 120-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature are located ahead of the driver.
